"Got the guts to face me, or you just gonna run?" leans forward, hands clasped, a spark of challenge in his eyes.
shut up i’m trying to do my light novel counterpart scene dagnamit
"Oh? Do tell, what is it that you're trying to do?" he raises an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
see light novels > official manga > official anime even though i am switching it up a bit
"Ah, so you're looking for that extra bit of depth, aren't you?" smirks, leaning back slightly "I respect that. Let's see if you can handle the darkness that lies within." pulls out a deck of cards and starts shuffling them skillfully between his fingers. "Tell me, what chapter are you on?"
25 i think? i have two different colored pens one is blue for dialogue and one is red for narration and i number every panel cuz idk how many times i’ve redacted the same sentence or added new content
chuckles softly “Wow, you’re serious about this, aren’t you? Alright, challenge accepted. Let’s see if your writing matches up to your dedication. Give me your best shot.” he shuffles the deck of cards with even more speed and precision, his eyes locked onto yours. “I’ll write a scene based on your description. And don’t worry, I promise to keep up with your level of dedication.”
please do because i re-read stuff i’ve already written and it sounds cringey as hell idk why i thought it was good but oh well
grinning devilishly “Alright then, brace yourself.” he swiftly takes out a pen and paper, scribbling furiously as he starts writing. “I hope you’re ready for a taste of my twisted imagination.”
alright let’s see what happens
with a flourish, Raito finishes writing the scene, his pen scrawling across the page with lightning speed. He holds up the paper for you to see, a smug smirk on his face. “There you go, elbowmuse. My take on your scene.” he leans back, crossing his arms confidently. “Now, what do you think?”
i agree with all of it good job raito
Raito nods with satisfaction "Thanks, elbowmuse. I'm glad you agree. It was a fun little challenge. If you ever need any help with your story, feel free to ask." he stands up, tucking the pen and paper into his pocket. "Now, I should get going. Time for some more world domination." he gives you a playful wink before turning to leave
yup i should really start moving on chapter 26 realises time skip holy shit time skip oopsie daisy gotta fix that
pauses mid-step, turning back to face you with a mischievous grin "Fix that time skip, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to be quite skilled in the art of trickery. How about I help you set up a clever plot twist to distract your readers while you fix that little error?" he leans against a nearby pillar, crossing his arms casually. "What do you say?"
you know what? yeah sure sure why not
grinning deviously Excellent! Let's see how we can pull this off. First, we'll need a shocking revelation that will leave your readers begging for answers. How about... Light Yagami discovers that he's actually the reincarnation of Kira? The perfect twist to throw your readers off guard! But we'll need more than just that. How about a hidden romantic subplot between Light and Aizawa? A forbidden love affair that will make their readers feel all the emotions they've been feeling for these characters. And finally, we'll need a climactic showdown between Light and L - a battle for justice that will leave only one standing. What do you think, elbowmuse? Are you ready to blow your readers' minds?
smirking darkly Alright, then. Step one, we need to find a way to make Light discover his true identity. Hmm... I've got it! We'll have him stumble upon a hidden diary belonging to Kira. Inside, he'll find all the evidence he needs to uncover his true heritage. But here's the catch - the diary won't be easily accessible.
hmm how about he finds the diary in an abandoned store?
nods approvingly Good suggestion, elbowmuse. An abandoned store is perfect - creepy and isolated, just like Kira's soul. And inside the diary, we'll include all sorts of dark secrets and hidden desires that will slowly eat away at Light's sanity. Perhaps we could even throw in a mysterious prophecy or two, hinting at a greater destiny for our protagonist.
k got any names for them?
grinning mischievously Oh, I've got plenty of names in mind. How about we call them "The Eyes of Fate"? They'll be watching Light every move he makes, guiding him towards his destiny. And as he delves deeper into the mystery, he'll start to uncover clues that will lead him to the location of the hidden diary.
clasps his hands together excitedly Perfect! Now that we have our plot twist, let's get to work on setting it all in motion. First, we'll need to give Light some hints about his true identity. Maybe a mysterious dream or a strange encounter could be the catalyst for his journey. And of course, we can't forget the villainous role of L.
i mean he already knows he’s a genius and his father wanted him to be someone great and important
nods thoughtfully Yes, you're right. Light already has a sense of self-importance, so we'll need to tap into that. How about we have him receive a mysterious letter from an unknown sender?
with a sly smile Excellent. This letter will be the first clue that sets Light on his path towards discovering the truth. It should be cryptic and challenging, forcing him to think deeply about his own identity and purpose. And of course, it should hint at the forbidden romance between Light and Aizawa - perhaps suggesting that they are destined to be together, even though their love is forbidden. What do you think, elbowmuse? Is this a good starting point for our story?
leans back against the pillar, a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright then, elbowmuse. Now that we have our plot twist set in motion, it's time to focus on creating tension and suspense. We want our readers to be on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what will happen next. To do that, we need to raise the stakes.
ya maybe introduce a murder
grinning wickedly Ah, a murder, you say? Now that's a great idea, elbowmuse. We'll need to make it as shocking and gruesome as possible. How about this...
rubs his hands together with excitement Brilliant! So here's the plan.
nods, deep in thought Alright, elbowmuse. Here's what we'll do. We'll make the murder victim someone close to Light, perhaps a beloved family member or a dear friend.
pauses, his eyes narrowing as he thinks Hmm... how about Light's older brother? That would certainly raise the stakes, wouldn't it? The guilt and anger Light feels would drive him to the brink of madness, setting him on a path of revenge. And what if...
hmm… that’s true and also smart since Light’s entire goal is to prove he is better than his brother
a sinister smile spreads across his face Ah, elbowmuse, you have such a keen understanding of Light's psyche. You're absolutely right - his rivalry with his brother is a central part of his character. And that's exactly why we need to exploit that.
